Description

本発明は、ワイヤハーネスに関する。 The present invention relates to wire harnesses.

従来、ワイヤハーネスにおいては、電線の端末にコネクタを組み付けたコネクタ付き電線として構成されたものが知られている。そして、そのコネクタについては、電線や端子金具へのノイズの侵入を抑止するために、シールドコネクタとして構成されたものが知られている。このコネクタにおいては、端子金具がハウジングの中で電線の端末に電気的に接続され、かつ、その電線がハウジングの外に引き出されている。更に、このコネクタにおいては、複数のシェル部材が組み合わされたシールドシェルでハウジングが外側から覆われている。この種のワイヤハーネスについては、例えば、下記の特許文献1から3に開示されている。また、ワイヤハーネスにおいては、コネクタから引き出された電線の引出部分へのノイズの侵入も抑えるべく、例えば、下記の特許文献2及び3にも記載されているように、金属材料で網目の筒状に編み上げた編組部材を電線の引出部分とシールドシェルとに被せている。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a known wire harness is configured as a connector-equipped electric wire in which a connector is attached to the end of the electric wire. As for the connector, there is known one configured as a shield connector in order to prevent noise from entering the electric wires and terminal fittings. In this connector, terminal fittings are electrically connected to terminals of electric wires in the housing, and the electric wires are led out of the housing. Furthermore, in this connector, the housing is covered from the outside with a shield shell in which a plurality of shell members are combined. Wire harnesses of this type are disclosed, for example, in Patent Documents 1 to 3 below. In addition, in the wire harness, in order to suppress the intrusion of noise into the lead-out portion of the electric wire drawn out from the connector, for example, as described in the following Patent Documents 2 and 3, a metal material is used to form a cylindrical mesh wire. A braided member that is braided into the wire covers the lead-out portion of the electric wire and the shield shell.

ところで、ワイヤハーネスにおいては、従来のようにシールドシェルが互いに組み合わされる複数のシールドシェル部材で構成されている場合、それぞれのシールドシェル部材の間に各々を面接触させた合わせ面が形成されるので、その合わせ面に水が浸入してしまうと、この水がシールドシェルの中まで伝わってしまう可能性がある。但し、従来のコネクタにおいては、ハウジングと電線との間の隙間を埋めたシール部材がハウジングの中に設けられているので、このシール部材によって、シールドシェルの中に入り込んだ水の端子金具への到達を防いでいる。その一方で、従来のコネクタは、そのシールドシェルの中の水が例えば電線の引出部分等を伝わりながらシールドシェルの外に抜け出て、この抜け出た水が編組部材にまで到達してしまう可能性がある。 By the way, in the wire harness, when the shield shell is composed of a plurality of shield shell members that are combined with each other as in the past, mating surfaces are formed between the respective shield shell members so that they are in surface contact with each other. , and if water enters the mating surfaces, there is a possibility that this water will reach the inside of the shield shell. However, in the conventional connector, since a seal member is provided in the housing to fill the gap between the housing and the wire, the seal member prevents water that has entered the shield shell from reaching the terminal fittings. preventing arrival. On the other hand, in a conventional connector, water in the shield shell may leak out of the shield shell while being transmitted, for example, through the lead-out portion of the electric wire, and the leaked water may reach the braided member. be.

そこで、本発明は、シールドシェルの中に入り込んだ水の編組部材への到達を抑止し得るワイヤハーネスを提供することを、その目的とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wire harness capable of preventing water that has entered a shield shell from reaching a braided member.

上記目的を達成する為、本発明は、電線と、前記電線の端末に組み付けられたコネクタと、を備え、前記コネクタは、前記電線の前記端末に対して直接的又は間接的に電気接続された端子金具と、前記電線及び前記端子金具を内方の収容室に収容させつつ、前記電線を前記収容室の引出口から外方に引き出させる絶縁性のハウジングと、前記ハウジングに被せた導電性の第1シールドシェル部材と、前記第1シールドシェル部材に対して端部を面接触させた状態で組み付けられ、かつ、その端部よりも前記電線の引出方向側に配置された筒部の内方の電線収容室に、前記電線における前記収容室から引き出された第1引出部を収容させつつ、前記電線を前記電線収容室の引出口から外方に引き出させる導電性の第2シールドシェル部材と、網目の筒状に編み上げられ、かつ、前記第2シールドシェル部材の前記筒部に密着状態で被せつつ、前記電線における前記電線収容室から引き出された第2引出部を覆う導電性の編組部材と、前記電線収容室の内周壁と前記電線の前記第1引出部との間の隙間を埋める編組側シール部材と、を備えることを特徴としている。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises an electric wire and a connector assembled to an end of the electric wire, the connector being directly or indirectly electrically connected to the end of the electric wire. a terminal fitting; an insulating housing for causing the wire and the terminal fitting to be accommodated in an inner storage chamber and drawing the wire outward from an outlet of the storage chamber; a first shield shell member, and an inner side of a tubular portion which is assembled with the first shield shell member in a state where the end portion is in surface contact with the first shield shell member, and which is arranged on the side of the lead-out direction side of the electric wire with respect to the end portion of the first shield shell member; a conductive second shield shell member that draws out the electric wire from the outlet of the electric wire accommodating chamber while accommodating the first lead-out portion of the electric wire drawn out from the accommodating chamber in the electric wire accommodating chamber of a conductive braided member that is woven into a tubular mesh and covers a second lead-out portion of the electric wire that is drawn out from the electric wire accommodating chamber while covering the tubular portion of the second shield shell member in a closely contacting state; and a braid-side sealing member that fills a gap between the inner peripheral wall of the wire housing chamber and the first lead-out portion of the wire.

本発明に係るワイヤハーネスは、分割構造を採っているシールドシェル(第1シールドシェル部材、第2シールドシェル部材)の中に入り込んだ水や塵埃が第2シールドシェル部材の筒部中の電線収容室に入り込んだとしても、その電線収容室に配置した編組側シール部材が水等の編組部材側への流出を抑えることができる。従って、このワイヤハーネスは、シールドシェルの中に入り込んだ水による編組部材の耐久性の低下を抑えることができる。 In the wire harness according to the present invention, water and dust entering the split-structured shield shells (first shield shell member, second shield shell member) are prevented from being contained in the tubular portion of the second shield shell member. Even if the wire enters the chamber, the braid-side sealing member arranged in the wire housing chamber can prevent water or the like from flowing out to the braid member side. Therefore, this wire harness can suppress deterioration in the durability of the braided member due to water that has entered the shield shell.

以下に、本発明に係るワイヤハーネスの実施形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。尚、この実施形態によりこの発明が限定されるものではない。 EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Below, embodiment of the wire harness which concerns on this invention is described in detail based on drawing. In addition, this invention is not limited by this embodiment.

[実施形態]
本発明に係るワイヤハーネスの実施形態の1つを図1から図12に基づいて説明する。
[Embodiment]
One embodiment of a wire harness according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. FIG.

図1から図4の符号WHは、本実施形態ワイヤハーネスを示す。このワイヤハーネスWHは、所謂コネクタ付き電線であり、電線Weと、この電線Weの端末に組み付けられたコネクタ1と、を備える。ここで示すワイヤハーネスWHは、極数の数が複数のコネクタ1を備えるものであり、その極数の数に応じた本数の電線Weが具備されている。この例示では、このワイヤハーネスWHが2本の電線Weと2極のコネクタ1を備えている。 Reference numeral WH in FIGS. 1 to 4 indicates the wire harness of this embodiment. The wire harness WH is a so-called connector-equipped electric wire, and includes an electric wire We and a connector 1 attached to an end of the electric wire We. The wire harness WH shown here includes a connector 1 having a plurality of poles, and is provided with electric wires We corresponding in number to the number of poles. In this illustration, the wire harness WH includes two electric wires We and a two-pole connector 1 .

コネクタ1は、相手方嵌合部(図示略)に対して先端から挿入嵌合させることによって、相手方端子金具(図示略)に電気接続させる。例えば、ここで示すコネクタ1は、内周壁面を有する孔状の相手方嵌合部の内方に後述するハウジング20の嵌合部20aを挿入嵌合させるものとして構成されている。このコネクタ1は、その孔状の相手方嵌合部に対して、この相手方嵌合部の孔軸方向に沿って嵌合部20aを挿抜させる。相手方嵌合部は、例えば、孔軸方向に対する直交断面が矩形を成すものとして形成されている。尚、相手方嵌合部は、筒状に形成され、その内方の空間に嵌合部20aを挿入嵌合させるものであってもよい。 The connector 1 is electrically connected to a mating terminal fitting (not shown) by inserting the connector 1 into a mating fitting portion (not shown) from the tip thereof. For example, the connector 1 shown here is configured such that a fitting portion 20a of a housing 20, which will be described later, is inserted and fitted inside a hole-shaped counterpart fitting portion having an inner peripheral wall surface. The connector 1 allows the fitting portion 20a to be inserted into and pulled out of the hole-shaped counterpart fitting portion along the hole axis direction of the counterpart fitting portion. The mating fitting portion is formed, for example, so that a cross section perpendicular to the hole axial direction forms a rectangle. The counterpart fitting portion may be formed in a tubular shape, and the fitting portion 20a may be inserted and fitted into the inner space thereof.

例えば、このコネクタ1は、相手方機器(図示略)の相手方端子金具に電気接続させることによって、この相手方機器と電線Weの先の機器(図示略)との間を電気接続させる。その相手方機器は、金属製の筐体を備えており、この筐体の壁体に形成された貫通孔を相手方嵌合部として利用する。また、この相手方機器は、その筐体の内部に端子台又は相手方コネクタを備えている。相手方端子金具は、その端子台又は相手方コネクタが備えるものである。よって、コネクタ1は、嵌合部20aが相手方嵌合部の内方に挿入嵌合され、筐体の内部で端子台又は相手方コネクタの相手方端子金具に電気接続させる。 For example, the connector 1 electrically connects the mating device (not shown) to a mating device (not shown) connected to the wire We by electrically connecting the mating device to the mating terminal fitting. The mating device has a metal housing, and a through hole formed in the wall of the housing is used as a mating fitting portion. In addition, the mating device has a terminal block or a mating connector inside its housing. The mating terminal fitting is provided by the terminal block or the mating connector. Accordingly, the connector 1 has the fitting portion 20a inserted and fitted inside the mating fitting portion, and is electrically connected to the terminal block or the mating terminal fitting of the mating connector inside the housing.

以下において、特段の言及も無く単に挿入方向と記した場合、その挿入方向は、相手方嵌合部に対するコネクタ1の嵌合部20aの挿入方向のことを示している。また、特段の言及も無く単に抜去方向と記した場合、その抜去方向は、相手方嵌合部に対するコネクタ1の嵌合部20aの抜去方向のことを示している。また、特段の言及も無く単に挿抜方向と記した場合、その挿抜方向は、相手方嵌合部に対するコネクタ1の嵌合部20aの挿抜方向のことを示している。 In the following description, the term "insertion direction" refers to the direction in which the fitting portion 20a of the connector 1 is inserted into the mating fitting portion. In addition, when simply referred to as a withdrawal direction without any particular reference, the withdrawal direction indicates the withdrawal direction of the fitting portion 20a of the connector 1 with respect to the mating fitting portion. In addition, when simply referred to as an insertion/removal direction without any particular reference, the insertion/removal direction indicates the insertion/removal direction of the fitting portion 20a of the connector 1 with respect to the counterpart fitting portion.

このコネクタ1は、端子金具10と、電線We及び端子金具10を収容させる絶縁性のハウジング20と、ノイズ低減を図るための導電性のシールドシェル30と、を備える(図1、図3及び図4)。 The connector 1 includes a terminal fitting 10, an insulating housing 20 for accommodating the electric wire We and the terminal fitting 10, and a conductive shield shell 30 for noise reduction (see FIGS. 1, 3 and 3). 4).

端子金具10は、金属等の導電性材料で成形される。例えば、この端子金具10は、母材となる金属板に対する折曲げ加工や切断加工等のプレス成形によって所定形状に成形される。 The terminal fitting 10 is made of a conductive material such as metal. For example, the terminal metal fitting 10 is formed into a predetermined shape by press forming such as bending and cutting of a metal plate as a base material.

この端子金具10は、相手方端子金具の相手方端子接続部に対して物理的且つ電気的に接続させる端子接続部11を有する(図1、図3及び図4)。例えば、端子接続部11と相手方端子接続部は、嵌合部20aと相手方嵌合部の挿入嵌合に伴って、互いに嵌合接続させる。この形態の端子接続部11と相手方端子接続部は、その内の一方が雌端子形状に形成され、その内の他方が雄端子形状に形成される。また、例えば、端子接続部11と相手方端子接続部は、互いに螺子止め固定させるものであってもよい。この例示では、端子接続部11が円筒状の雌端子形状に形成され、かつ、相手方端子接続部が端子接続部11の内方に嵌入させる軸状の雄端子形状に形成されている。端子金具10においては、この端子接続部11の筒軸方向が挿抜方向になる。この例示の端子接続部11の内方には、弾性変形可能な接点部材(図示略)が組み付けられている。 This terminal fitting 10 has a terminal connection portion 11 that is physically and electrically connected to a counterpart terminal connection portion of the counterpart terminal fitting (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4). For example, the terminal connecting portion 11 and the mating terminal connecting portion are fitted and connected to each other as the fitting portion 20a and the mating fitting portion are inserted and fitted. One of the terminal connecting portion 11 and the mating terminal connecting portion of this form is formed in the shape of a female terminal, and the other is formed in the shape of a male terminal. Further, for example, the terminal connection portion 11 and the counterpart terminal connection portion may be screwed and fixed to each other. In this example, the terminal connecting portion 11 is formed in the shape of a cylindrical female terminal, and the mating terminal connecting portion is formed in the shape of a shaft-like male terminal to be fitted inside the terminal connecting portion 11 . In the terminal fitting 10, the axial direction of the terminal connecting portion 11 is the insertion/removal direction. An elastically deformable contact member (not shown) is assembled inside the illustrated terminal connection portion 11 .

この端子金具10は、電線Weの端末に対して直接的又は間接的に電気接続させる。例えば、端子金具10は、電線Weの端末に対して物理的且つ電気的に接続させる電線接続部12を設けておくことによって、電線Weの端末に対して直接的に電気接続させる(図3及び図4)。また、例えば、端子金具10は、電線Weの端末との間に中継端子(図示略)を介在させることによって、電線Weの端末に対して間接的に電気接続させる。ここで示す端子金具10は、電線接続部12を有しており、電線Weの端末に対して直接的に電気接続させている。 This terminal fitting 10 is electrically connected directly or indirectly to the end of the electric wire We. For example, the terminal fitting 10 is directly electrically connected to the end of the electric wire We by providing the electric wire connection portion 12 that is physically and electrically connected to the end of the electric wire We (FIGS. 3 and 4). Figure 4). Further, for example, the terminal fitting 10 is indirectly electrically connected to the end of the electric wire We by interposing a relay terminal (not shown) between the terminal fitting 10 and the end of the electric wire We. The terminal fitting 10 shown here has a wire connecting portion 12 and is electrically connected directly to the end of the wire We.

電線接続部12は、電線Weの端末の剥き出しの芯線に対して、例えば、圧着又は溶着させることによって、この電線Weに対して物理的且つ電気的に接続させる。ここで示す電線接続部12は、2枚のバレル片を剥き出しの芯線に加締め圧着させている。電線Weは、この電線接続部12から引き出されている。 The wire connecting portion 12 is physically and electrically connected to the wire We by, for example, crimping or welding the exposed core wire of the end of the wire We. The wire connecting portion 12 shown here is made by crimping two barrel pieces onto an exposed core wire. The electric wire We is pulled out from the electric wire connecting portion 12 .

端子金具10は、端子接続部11の筒軸方向と電線接続部12における電線Weの引出方向とが同じ向きのストレート形状に成形される。このストレート形状の端子金具10を用いる場合には、電線接続部12から引き出された電線Weをそのまま引出方向に延在させてハウジング20に収容してもよく、電線接続部12から引き出された電線Weを途中で折り曲げてハウジング20に収容してもよい。この例示では、ストレート形状の端子金具10と、電線接続部12から引き出された後で90度折り曲げられた電線Weと、がハウジング20に収容されている(図3及び図4)。 The terminal fitting 10 is formed in a straight shape such that the cylindrical axis direction of the terminal connection portion 11 and the lead-out direction of the wire We in the wire connection portion 12 are the same. When the straight-shaped terminal fitting 10 is used, the electric wire We drawn out from the wire connecting portion 12 may be extended in the drawing direction as it is and accommodated in the housing 20. The We may be bent halfway and stored in the housing 20 . In this example, a straight-shaped terminal fitting 10 and a wire We bent 90 degrees after being pulled out from a wire connection portion 12 are housed in a housing 20 (FIGS. 3 and 4).

尚、端子金具10は、端子接続部11の筒軸方向と電線接続部12における電線Weの引出方向とを交差させた(例えば、直交させた)交差形状に成形されたものであってもよい。この場合には、電線接続部12から引き出された電線Weをそのまま引出方向に延在させる。 The terminal fitting 10 may be formed in a cross shape in which the direction of the cylindrical axis of the terminal connection portion 11 and the drawing direction of the electric wire We in the wire connection portion 12 intersect (for example, perpendicular to each other). . In this case, the wire We pulled out from the wire connecting portion 12 is allowed to extend in the pull-out direction as it is.

このコネクタ1は、その対になる端子金具10と電線Weの組み合わせを複数組備えている。ここでは、その組み合わせを2組備えている(図4)。このコネクタ1においては、2つの端子金具10が挿抜方向に対する直交方向に並べて配置されている。また、このコネクタ1においては、2本の電線Weをその直交方向に並べて並走させている。 This connector 1 has a plurality of combinations of terminal metal fittings 10 and electric wires We that are paired with each other. Two such combinations are provided here (FIG. 4). In this connector 1, two terminal fittings 10 are arranged side by side in a direction orthogonal to the insertion/removal direction. Further, in this connector 1, two electric wires We are arranged in the orthogonal direction and run in parallel.

ハウジング20は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形される。 The housing 20 is molded from an insulating material such as synthetic resin.

このハウジング20は、相手方嵌合部に挿入嵌合させる嵌合部20aを有する(図1から図6)。ここで示す嵌合部20aは、挿入方向に沿って孔状の相手方嵌合部の内方に挿入嵌合させ、これとは逆向きの抜去方向に沿って相手方嵌合部の内方から抜き取られる。この嵌合部20aは、相手方嵌合部に対する挿抜方向(挿入方向、挿抜方向)を筒軸方向とする筒状に形成されている。ここで示す嵌合部20aは、角筒状に形成されている。 This housing 20 has a fitting portion 20a that is inserted and fitted into the mating fitting portion (FIGS. 1 to 6).

ハウジング20は、この第1電線保持具60を保持する保持部20gを有する(図3、図5及び図6)。この保持部20gは、ハウジング20に少なくとも1つ設ける。このコネクタ1においては、第1電線保持具60で電線Weを保持し、その第1電線保持具60をハウジング20の保持部20gに保持させることによって、車両走行時に電線Weの引出部分で発生した振れが振動として伝わってきたとしても、その振動の端子金具10への伝播を第1電線保持具60と保持部20gで抑止することができる。そして、このコネクタ1においては、この第1電線保持具60を電線Weの軸線方向で端子側シール部材43に並べて配置しているので、第1電線保持具60と保持部20gによる振動の伝播抑止効果に起因して、収容室20cの中での電線Weの振れも抑えられる。よって、このコネクタ1においては、電線Weの振れに伴う端子側シール部材43の押し潰しを抑止できるので、電線Weと端子側シール部材43との間に隙間ができ難くなっており、端子側シール部材43による防水性能と防塵性能を向上させることができる。 The housing 20 has a holding portion 20g that holds the first wire holder 60 (FIGS. 3, 5 and 6). At least one holding portion 20 g is provided in the housing 20 . In this connector 1, the electric wire We is held by the first electric wire holder 60, and the first electric wire holder 60 is held by the holding portion 20g of the housing 20, thereby preventing the electric wire We from being pulled out during vehicle running. Even if the vibration is transmitted as vibration, the propagation of the vibration to the terminal fitting 10 can be suppressed by the first wire holder 60 and the holding portion 20g. In the connector 1, since the first wire holder 60 is arranged side by side with the terminal-side sealing member 43 in the axial direction of the wire We, propagation of vibration is suppressed by the first wire holder 60 and the holding portion 20g. Due to this effect, the electric wire We is also suppressed from swinging in the storage chamber 20c. Therefore, in the connector 1, crushing of the terminal-side sealing member 43 due to vibration of the electric wire We can be suppressed, so that a gap is less likely to form between the electric wire We and the terminal-side sealing member 43. The waterproof performance and dustproof performance of the member 43 can be improved.

ここで、第1電線保持具60は、端子側シール部材43よりも端子金具10側に配置してもよく、端子側シール部材43よりも収容室20cの引出口20d側に配置してもよい。 Here, the first wire holder 60 may be arranged closer to the terminal fitting 10 than the terminal-side sealing member 43, or may be arranged closer to the outlet 20d of the housing chamber 20c than the terminal-side sealing member 43. .

このコネクタ1においては、第1電線保持具60を端子側シール部材43よりも端子金具10側に配置している(図3)。これにより、このコネクタ1においては、引出部分から伝わってきた電線Weの振動が先ず端子側シール部材43で吸収され、続いて、ここで吸収しきれなかった残りの振動成分の端子金具10側への伝播が第1電線保持具60と保持部20gで抑止される。よって、このコネクタ1においては、第1電線保持具60と保持部20gによって抑え込む振動を端子側シール部材43で小さくしておくことができるので、振動の端子金具10への伝播抑止効果を高めることができる。 In this connector 1, the first wire holder 60 is arranged closer to the terminal fitting 10 than the terminal-side sealing member 43 (FIG. 3). As a result, in the connector 1, the vibration of the wire We transmitted from the lead-out portion is first absorbed by the terminal-side sealing member 43, and then the remaining vibration components that cannot be absorbed here are transferred to the terminal fitting 10 side. is restrained by the first wire holder 60 and the holder 20g.

一方、このコネクタ1においては、第1電線保持具60を端子側シール部材43よりも収容室20cの引出口20d側に配置することによって、引出部分から伝わってきた電線Weの振動の端子金具10側への伝播を第1電線保持具60と保持部20gで抑止しきれなかった場合でも、第1電線保持具60と保持部20gで小さくなった振動が端子金具10に伝わる前に、この振動を端子側シール部材43で吸収することができる。よって、このコネクタ1においては、仮に第1電線保持具60と保持部20gで振動を抑え込むことができなかったとしても、振動の端子金具10への伝播を抑止することができる。 On the other hand, in this connector 1, by arranging the first wire holder 60 closer to the lead-out port 20d side of the accommodation chamber 20c than the terminal-side sealing member 43, the vibration of the wire We transmitted from the lead-out portion can be suppressed by the terminal fitting 10. Even if the first wire holder 60 and the holding portion 20g cannot suppress the lateral propagation, before the vibration reduced by the first wire holder 60 and the holding portion 20g is transmitted to the terminal fitting 10, the vibration is reduced. can be absorbed by the terminal-side sealing member 43 . Therefore, in this connector 1, even if the vibration cannot be suppressed by the first wire holder 60 and the holding portion 20g, it is possible to suppress the propagation of the vibration to the terminal fitting 10.

ここで、第1シールドシェル部材31には、その主壁31aの端面と同一平面上の壁面を有する2つの固定部31dが側壁31bに設けられている(図1、図2、図9及び図10)。この固定部31dは、フランジ部32eを介して、第2シールドシェル部材32を第1シールドシェル部材31に螺子止め固定させるためのものである。よって、フランジ部32eは、その平面を2つの固定部31dの壁面に面接触させる。ここでは、それぞれの固定部31dに雌螺子部N2が形成されている(図10)。そして、フランジ部32eには、雄螺子部材B2(図1、図2及び図9)を挿通させるための貫通孔32eが固定部31d毎に形成されている(図10)。第2シールドシェル部材32は、その貫通孔32eに雄螺子部材B2を挿通させた上で、この雄螺子部材B2を雌螺子部N2に螺合させることによって、第1シールドシェル部材31に螺子止め固定される。 Here, in the first shield shell member 31, two fixing portions 31d having wall surfaces flush with the end surface of the main wall 31a are provided on the side walls 31b (FIGS. 1, 2, 9 and 9). 10). The fixing portion 31d is for screwing and fixing the second shield shell member 32 to the first shield shell member 31 via the flange portion 32e. Therefore, the plane of the flange portion 32e is brought into surface contact with the wall surfaces of the two fixing portions 31d. Here, a female screw portion N2 is formed in each fixing portion 31d (FIG. 10). A through hole 32e1 for inserting a male screw member B2 (FIGS. 1, 2 and 9) is formed in the flange portion 32e for each fixing portion 31d (FIG. 10). The second shield shell member 32 is screwed to the first shield shell member 31 by inserting the male screw member B2 into the through hole 32e1 and screwing the male screw member B2 onto the female screw portion N2. It is stopped and fixed.

更に、この第2シールドシェル部材32には、そのフランジ部32eから電線Weの引出方向とは逆側に突出させ、かつ、第1シールドシェル部材31の主壁31aに外側から被せて面接触させる平板状の第1片部32fを有する(図2から図4及び図9)。ここでは、この第1片部32fが矩形の平板状に形成されている。そして、第1シールドシェル部材31の主壁31aには、その第1片部32fが入り込む矩形の溝部31aが形成されている(図2、図3及び図9)。 Further, the second shield shell member 32 projects from its flange portion 32e in the direction opposite to the drawing direction of the electric wire We, and covers the main wall 31a of the first shield shell member 31 from the outside so as to be in surface contact. It has a flat first piece 32f (FIGS. 2 to 4 and 9). Here, the first piece portion 32f is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape. A rectangular groove 31a1 into which the first piece 32f is inserted is formed in the main wall 31a of the first shield shell member 31 (FIGS. 2, 3 and 9).

また更に、この第2シールドシェル部材32には、第1片部32fとは逆側でフランジ部32eから電線Weの引出方向とは逆側に突出させ、かつ、ハウジング本体21に外側から対向配置させた平板状の第2片部32gを有する(図1から図4、図9及び図10)。 Further, the second shield shell member 32 projects from the flange portion 32e on the side opposite to the first piece portion 32f in the direction opposite to the draw-out direction of the electric wire We, and is arranged to face the housing body 21 from the outside. It has a flat plate-like second piece 32g (FIGS. 1 to 4, 9 and 10).

このコネクタ1は、網目の筒状に編み上げられ、かつ、この第2シールドシェル部材32の筒部32aに密着状態で被せつつ、電線Weにおける電線収容室32bから引き出された第2引出部We2を覆う導電性の編組部材35を備える(図1から図4)。そして、このコネクタ1は、その編組部材35を筒部32aの外周壁との間に挟みこんで加締め圧着させる環状のシールリング36を備える(図1から図4)。例えば、このコネクタ1は、第1シールドシェル部材31の側壁31bに設けた2つの固定部31e(図1、図2、図9及び図10)を相手方機器の金属製の筐体に螺子止め固定させ、その筐体にシールドシェル30と編組部材35を電気接続させることによってノイズを逃がす。 The connector 1 is woven into a mesh tube, and covers the tubular portion 32a of the second shield shell member 32 in close contact with the second lead portion We2 of the wire We that is pulled out from the wire receiving chamber 32b. An overlying electrically conductive braid member 35 is provided (FIGS. 1-4). The connector 1 is provided with an annular seal ring 36 that sandwiches the braided member 35 between itself and the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion 32a and crimps the braided member 35 (FIGS. 1 to 4). For example, in this connector 1, the two fixing portions 31e (FIGS. 1, 2, 9 and 10) provided on the side wall 31b of the first shield shell member 31 are screwed and fixed to the metal housing of the mating device. The shield shell 30 and the braided member 35 are electrically connected to the housing to release noise.

更に、このコネクタ1は、筒状に形成され、かつ、第2シールドシェル部材32の筒部32aに密着状態で被せつつ編組部材35に被せて、この編組部材35を内方に覆い隠すよう収容させるゴムブーツ70を備える(図3)。このゴムブーツ70は、例えば、外側から結束バンド等の締結部材75を巻き付けて、筒部32aの外周壁に密着状態で固定させる。尚、本図以外では、ゴムブーツ70を省略している。 Further, the connector 1 is formed in a tubular shape, and covers the tubular portion 32a of the second shield shell member 32 in close contact with the braided member 35 so as to hide the braided member 35 inwardly. A rubber boot 70 is provided (FIG. 3). For example, the rubber boot 70 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion 32a in close contact by winding a fastening member 75 such as a binding band from the outside. It should be noted that the rubber boot 70 is omitted in figures other than this figure.

このコネクタ1においては、このゴムブーツ70によって、編組部材35への外側からの水や塵埃の接触を抑止している。一方、このコネクタ1においては、シールドシェル30が第1シールドシェル部材31と第2シールドシェル部材32による分割構造を採っているので、その間の合わせ面や第2シールドシェル部材32とハウジング本体21との間の隙間等からシールドシェル30の中に水や塵埃が入り込んでしまう可能性がある。その合わせ面とは、第1シールドシェル部材31の主壁31aにおける電線Weの引出方向側の端面と第2シールドシェル部材32のフランジ部32eの平面との間の接触面、そして、第1シールドシェル部材31の2つの固定部31dの壁面と第2シールドシェル部材32のフランジ部32eの平面との間の接触面、更に、第1シールドシェル部材31の主壁31aの溝部31aと第2シールドシェル部材32の第1片部32fとの間の接触面のことである。また、その隙間とは、ハウジング本体21と第2シールドシェル部材32の第2片部32gとの間に形成される隙間のことである。 In the connector 1, the rubber boot 70 prevents water and dust from coming into contact with the braided member 35 from the outside. On the other hand, in this connector 1, the shield shell 30 has a divided structure with the first shield shell member 31 and the second shield shell member 32, so that the mating surfaces therebetween, the second shield shell member 32 and the housing body 21 are separated from each other. There is a possibility that water or dust may enter the shield shell 30 through a gap or the like between them. The mating surface is the contact surface between the end surface of the main wall 31a of the first shield shell member 31 in the drawing direction of the electric wire We and the flat surface of the flange portion 32e of the second shield shell member 32, and the first shield shell member 31. The contact surfaces between the wall surfaces of the two fixed portions 31d of the shell member 31 and the plane of the flange portion 32e of the second shield shell member 32, and the groove portion 31a1 of the main wall 31a of the first shield shell member 31 and the second It is the contact surface between the shield shell member 32 and the first piece 32f. The gap is a gap formed between the housing main body 21 and the second piece 32g of the second shield shell member 32. As shown in FIG.

ここで、ハウジング20においては、そのシールドシェル30の中に入り込んだ水や塵埃が引出口20dから収容室20cに入り込んだとしても、端子側シール部材43によって、その水や塵埃の端子金具10への到達を抑止することができる。よって、このコネクタ1においては、先に示したように、水による端子金具10の耐久性の低下や塵埃による端子金具10の通電性能の低下を抑えることができる。 Here, in the housing 20, even if water or dust entering the shield shell 30 enters the receiving chamber 20c from the outlet 20d, the terminal-side sealing member 43 prevents the water or dust from reaching the terminal fitting 10. arrival can be suppressed. Therefore, in the connector 1, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the durability of the terminal fitting 10 due to water and deterioration of the conducting performance of the terminal fitting 10 due to dust, as described above.

一方、このコネクタ1においては、シールドシェル30の中に入り込んだ水や塵埃が第2シールドシェル部材32の電線収容室32bに入り込み、この電線収容室32bの引出口32cから抜け出てしまうと、その水や塵埃が編組部材35に到達してしまう可能性があり、例えば、その水による編組部材35の耐久性の低下を引き起こしてしまう虞がある。 On the other hand, in the connector 1, if water or dust entering the shield shell 30 enters the wire receiving chamber 32b of the second shield shell member 32 and exits from the outlet 32c of the wire receiving chamber 32b, Water and dust may reach the braided member 35 , and for example, the water may cause deterioration of the durability of the braided member 35 .

そこで、このコネクタ1は、電線収容室32bの内周壁と電線Weの第1引出部We1との間の隙間を埋めて、その間での防水と防塵を図るシール部材(以下、「編組側シール部材」という。)45を備えている(図3及び図4)。この編組側シール部材45は、合成ゴム等の弾性部材で成形される。 Therefore, in this connector 1, a sealing member (hereinafter referred to as a "braid side sealing member") fills the gap between the inner peripheral wall of the wire housing chamber 32b and the first lead-out portion We1 of the wire We to provide waterproofing and dustproofing therebetween. ) 45 (FIGS. 3 and 4). The braided side seal member 45 is formed of an elastic member such as synthetic rubber.

この編組側シール部材45は、電線We毎に設けたものであってもよく、電線収容室32bの内周壁と複数本の電線Weの第1引出部We1との間の隙間を埋めるものであってもよい。ここで示す編組側シール部材45は、電線収容室32bの内周壁と2本の電線Weの第1引出部We1との間の隙間を埋めるものとして成形されている。 The braid-side sealing member 45 may be provided for each wire We, and fills the gap between the inner peripheral wall of the wire housing chamber 32b and the first lead-out portion We1 of the plurality of wires We. may The braid-side sealing member 45 shown here is formed to fill the gap between the inner peripheral wall of the wire housing chamber 32b and the first lead-out portions We1 of the two wires We.

ここで示す編組側シール部材45は、長円形に成形され、かつ、電線We毎の円形の貫通孔45aを有している(図4)。そして、この編組側シール部材45においては、外周面に同軸の環状のリップ(以下、「外周リップ」という。)が形成され、かつ、その貫通孔45aの内周面に同軸の環状のリップ(以下、「内周リップ」という。)が形成されている。この編組側シール部材45は、筒部32aの内周壁に外周リップを密着させ、かつ、電線Weの第1引出部We1の外周面に内周リップを密着させることによって、合わせ面等からシールドシェル30の中に入り込んで電線収容室32bに到達した水や塵埃の引出口32cからの流出を抑止することができる。よって、このコネクタ1においては、合わせ面等からシールドシェル30の中に入り込んできた水による編組部材35の耐久性の低下を抑えることができる。 The braided side sealing member 45 shown here is formed in an oval shape and has a circular through hole 45a for each electric wire We (FIG. 4). In this braided side seal member 45, a coaxial annular lip (hereinafter referred to as "outer peripheral lip") is formed on the outer peripheral surface, and a coaxial annular lip (hereinafter referred to as "outer peripheral lip") is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 45a. hereinafter referred to as an “inner peripheral lip”). The braided side sealing member 45 has an outer peripheral lip in close contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion 32a and an inner peripheral lip in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the first lead-out portion We1 of the electric wire We, thereby separating the shield shell from the mating surfaces and the like. It is possible to prevent water or dust that has entered the wire storage chamber 30 and reached the wire housing chamber 32b from flowing out from the outlet 32c. Therefore, in this connector 1, it is possible to suppress deterioration in the durability of the braided member 35 due to water entering the shield shell 30 from the mating surfaces or the like.

また、コネクタ1においては、この編組側シール部材45が先に示した第1電線保持具60と端子側シール部材43よりも電線Weの引出方向側に配置されているので、引出部分から伝わってきた電線Weの振動が第1電線保持具60と端子側シール部材43に伝わる前に、この編組側シール部材45で吸収される。よって、このコネクタ1においては、振動の端子金具10への伝播抑止効果を更に高めることができる。 Further, in the connector 1, since the braid-side sealing member 45 is arranged on the drawing-out side of the electric wire We from the first electric wire holder 60 and the terminal-side sealing member 43, the electric wire We is drawn out. The braid-side sealing member 45 absorbs the vibration of the wire We, before it is transmitted to the first wire holder 60 and the terminal-side sealing member 43 . Therefore, in this connector 1, the effect of suppressing the propagation of vibration to the terminal fitting 10 can be further enhanced.

更に、このコネクタ1は、第2シールドシェル部材32の電線収容室32bで電線Weを保持する電線保持具(以下、「第2電線保持具」という。)80を備える(図3、図4、図11及び図12)。この第2電線保持具80は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形される。この第2電線保持具80は、電線We毎に設けたものであってもよく、複数本の電線Weの保持が可能な1つの部品として設けたものであってもよい。ここで示す第2電線保持具80は、複数本(この例示では2本)の電線Weの第1引出部We1の保持が可能な1つの部品として設けられている。また、ここで示す第2電線保持具80は、先に示した第1電線保持具60と同じように、同じ部品として成形された第1電線保持部材81と第2電線保持部材82とが組み付けられたものである(図3、図4、図11及び図12)。但し、ここで示す第2電線保持具80は、先に示した第1電線保持具60に対して次のような共通点と相違点を有している。 Further, the connector 1 is provided with a wire holder (hereinafter referred to as a "second wire holder") 80 for holding the wire We in the wire housing chamber 32b of the second shield shell member 32 (Figs. 11 and 12). The second wire holder 80 is made of an insulating material such as synthetic resin. The second wire holder 80 may be provided for each wire We, or may be provided as one component capable of holding a plurality of wires We. The second wire holder 80 shown here is provided as one component capable of holding the first lead-out portions We1 of a plurality of (two in this example) wires We. In addition, the second wire holder 80 shown here includes a first wire holding member 81 and a second wire holding member 82 which are formed as the same parts in the same manner as the first wire holder 60 shown above. (Figs. 3, 4, 11 and 12). However, the second wire holder 80 shown here has the following common points and differences with respect to the first wire holder 60 shown above.

第2電線保持具80は、第1電線保持具60の電線挿通部60aと同じ電線挿通部80aを有するものであるが、その電線挿通部60aに設けたリブ60bの如き突起部を電線挿通部80aに有していない(図3、図11及び図12)。第1電線保持部材81と第2電線保持部材82は、第1電線保持具60の第1電線保持部材61及び第2電線保持部材62に各々設けた空間部65と同じ空間部85を有しており(図12)、第1電線保持具60と同じように、それぞれの空間部85を合わせた円柱状の空間部によって電線挿通部80aを形成する。 The second wire holder 80 has a wire insertion portion 80a which is the same as the wire insertion portion 60a of the first wire holder 60, but a projection such as a rib 60b provided on the wire insertion portion 60a is replaced by the wire insertion portion. 80a (FIGS. 3, 11 and 12). The first wire holding member 81 and the second wire holding member 82 have the same space 85 as the space 65 provided in the first wire holding member 61 and the second wire holding member 62 of the first wire holder 60, respectively. (FIG. 12), and similarly to the first wire holder 60, the wire insertion portion 80a is formed by a columnar space portion in which the respective space portions 85 are combined.

また、この第2電線保持具80は、第1電線保持部材81と第2電線保持部材82との間に、第1電線保持部材61と第2電線保持部材62との間の第2ロック機構64と同じロック機構84{第1係止体84a、第2係止体84b(第2係止部84b、可撓片部84b)}を有しているが、第1電線保持部材61と第2電線保持部材62との間の第1ロック機構63に相当するものを有していない(図11及び図12)。 The second wire holder 80 also has a second locking mechanism between the first wire holding member 81 and the second wire holding member 82 and between the first wire holding member 61 and the second wire holding member 62 . 64 has the same locking mechanism 84 {first locking body 84a, second locking body 84b (second locking part 84b 1 , flexible piece part 84b 2 )}, but the first wire holding member 61 and the second wire holding member 62 (FIGS. 11 and 12).

ここで、第2電線保持具80は、編組側シール部材45よりも端子金具10側に配置してもよく、編組側シール部材45よりも電線収容室32bの引出口32c側に配置してもよい。この例示では、この第2電線保持具80に関わる下記の突出部80cと係止部(環状部32d)を設けるために、第2電線保持具80を編組側シール部材45よりも電線収容室32bの引出口32c側に配置している(図3)。 Here, the second wire holder 80 may be arranged closer to the terminal fitting 10 than the braid-side sealing member 45, or may be arranged closer to the lead-out port 32c side of the wire receiving chamber 32b than the braid-side sealing member 45. good. In this example, the second wire holder 80 is positioned closer to the wire receiving chamber 32b than the braided side seal member 45 in order to provide a projecting portion 80c and a locking portion (annular portion 32d) described below related to the second wire holder 80. is arranged on the outlet 32c side of the (Fig. 3).

この第2電線保持具80は、電線収容室32bの引出口32cよりも外方に突出させ、かつ、電線Weの第2引出部We2を収容させる筒状の突出部80cを有する(図3、図11及び図12)。この突出部80cは、電線We毎に設ける。第1電線保持部材81と第2電線保持部材82は、各々、電線挿通部80aの軸線方向における一方の端面81a,82aから突出させた当該電線挿通部80aと同心の半円弧状の突出部86を有している(図3及び図12)。この第1電線保持部材81と第2電線保持部材82は、それぞれの突出部86を合わせて円筒状の突出部80cを形成する。このコネクタ1においては、この突出部80cによって、電線収容室32bの引出口32cの周縁(環状部32dの内周面)への電線Weの接触を防ぐことができるので、この電線Weの耐久性の低下を抑えることができる。 The second wire holder 80 has a cylindrical projecting portion 80c that projects outward from the lead-out port 32c of the wire receiving chamber 32b and accommodates the second lead-out portion We2 of the wire We (FIGS. 3 and 4). 11 and 12). The projecting portion 80c is provided for each electric wire We. Each of the first wire holding member 81 and the second wire holding member 82 has a semicircular projection 86 concentric with the wire insertion portion 80a, which is projected from one end surface 81a, 82a of the wire insertion portion 80a in the axial direction. (FIGS. 3 and 12). The projections 86 of the first wire holding member 81 and the second wire holding member 82 are combined to form a cylindrical projection 80c. In the connector 1, the protruding portion 80c prevents the wire We from contacting the periphery of the outlet 32c of the wire housing chamber 32b (the inner peripheral surface of the annular portion 32d). can suppress the decrease in

ここで、第2シールドシェル部材32は、この第2電線保持具80を電線収容室32bの引出口32c側で係止させる係止部を有している。例えば、ここで示す第2シールドシェル部材32においては、環状部32dにおける電線収容室32b側の平面が第1電線保持部材81と第2電線保持部材82のそれぞれの端面81a,82aに対向配置されている。そこで、このコネクタ1においては、その環状部32dを第2電線保持具80用の係止部として利用し、この係止部(環状部32d)によって、第2電線保持具80が電線収容室32bから引出口32c側に抜け出てしまうことを防止できる。そして、このコネクタ1においては、その第2電線保持具80が編組側シール部材45の引出口32c側への動きを係止させるので、編組側シール部材45が電線収容室32bから引出口32c側に抜け出てしまうことも防止できる。 Here, the second shield shell member 32 has a locking portion that locks the second wire holder 80 on the outlet 32c side of the wire housing chamber 32b. For example, in the second shield shell member 32 shown here, the plane of the wire receiving chamber 32b side of the annular portion 32d is arranged to face the end surfaces 81a and 82a of the first wire holding member 81 and the second wire holding member 82, respectively. ing. Therefore, in this connector 1, the annular portion 32d is used as a locking portion for the second wire holder 80, and the locking portion (looped portion 32d) allows the second wire holder 80 to move from the wire housing chamber 32b. can be prevented from coming out from the drawer port 32c side. In the connector 1, the second wire holder 80 locks the movement of the braid-side seal member 45 toward the lead-out port 32c side, so that the braid-side seal member 45 moves from the wire receiving chamber 32b toward the lead-out port 32c side. It is also possible to prevent it from slipping out.

このコネクタ1においては、この第2電線保持具80が先に示した第1電線保持具60と端子側シール部材43と編組側シール部材45よりも電線Weの引出方向側に配置されているので、引出部分から伝わってきた電線Weの振動が第1電線保持具60と端子側シール部材43と編組側シール部材45に伝わる前に、この第2電線保持具80で抑えられる。よって、このコネクタ1においては、振動の端子金具10への伝播抑止効果を更に高めることができる。更に、このコネクタ1においては、この第2電線保持具80が電線収容室32bの中での電線Weの振れを抑え、電線Weの振れに伴う編組側シール部材45の押し潰しを抑止できるので、電線Weと編組側シール部材45との間に隙間ができ難くなっており、編組側シール部材45による防水性能と防塵性能を向上させることができる。 In the connector 1, the second wire holder 80 is arranged closer to the direction in which the wires We are pulled out than the first wire holder 60, the terminal-side sealing member 43, and the braid-side sealing member 45. The second wire holder 80 suppresses the vibration of the wire We transmitted from the lead-out portion before it is transmitted to the first wire holder 60 , the terminal-side sealing member 43 and the braid-side sealing member 45 . Therefore, in this connector 1, the effect of suppressing the propagation of vibration to the terminal fitting 10 can be further enhanced. Furthermore, in the connector 1, the second wire holder 80 suppresses the swaying of the wire We in the wire housing chamber 32b and suppresses the crushing of the braided side sealing member 45 due to the swaying of the wire We. A gap is less likely to form between the electric wire We and the braided side seal member 45, and the waterproof performance and dustproof performance of the braided side seal member 45 can be improved.

以上示したように、本実施形態のワイヤハーネスWHは、分割構造を採っているシールドシェル30の中に入り込んだ水や塵埃が第2シールドシェル部材32の筒部32a中の電線収容室32bに入り込んだとしても、その電線収容室32bに配置した編組側シール部材45が水等の編組部材35側への流出を抑えることができる。従って、このワイヤハーネスWHは、シールドシェル30の中に入り込んだ水による編組部材35の耐久性の低下を抑えることができる。更に、このワイヤハーネスWHは、第2電線保持具80によって電線収容室32bの中での電線Weの振れを抑えられるので、電線Weと編組側シール部材45との間に隙間ができ難く、編組側シール部材45による防水性能と防塵性能を向上させることができる。 As described above, in the wire harness WH of the present embodiment, water and dust entering the shield shell 30 having a split structure are prevented from entering the wire storage chamber 32b in the cylindrical portion 32a of the second shield shell member 32. Even if it does enter, the braid-side seal member 45 arranged in the wire housing chamber 32b can suppress the outflow of water or the like to the braid member 35 side. Therefore, this wire harness WH can suppress deterioration in durability of the braided member 35 due to water entering the shield shell 30 . Further, in the wire harness WH, since the second wire holder 80 can suppress the vibration of the wires We in the wire housing chamber 32b, a gap is less likely to form between the wires We and the braided side sealing member 45, and the braid The waterproof performance and dustproof performance of the side seal member 45 can be improved.
